"From the earliest days of the cinema to the present, Shakespeare has offered a tempting bank of source material that the
film industry has been happy to plunder. Shakespeare on Film examines an extensive range of films that have emerged from the
curious union of an iconic dramatist with a medium of mass appeal. The many films Judith Buchanan studies are shown to be
telling indicators of trends in Shakespearean performance interpretation, illuminating markers of developments in the film
industry and culturally revealing about broader influences in the world beyond the movie theatre. As with other titles from
the Inside Film series, the book is illustrated throughout with stills. Each chapter concludes with a list of suggested further
reading in the field."--Jacket

"Recent years have seen a striking surge in the production of literary biopics. Writers turned cinema subject in recent films
include Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Iris Murdoch, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Lillian Hellman, Allen
Ginsberg, Kafka, Keats, Kaufman, and many more. This cultural phenomenon prompts a re-examination of a long and varied history
of cinematic engagements with authorial creativity. The Writer on Film examines films about writers, real and fictional, from
the silent era to the present. It asks how filmmakers have narratively and iconographically configured writers' lives and
acts of writing. How might the mysterious processes of a literary imagination at work be cinematically expressed? What views
of inspiration, muses, redrafting and publication have films taken and how, in cinematic representation, have these been gendered?
How has cinema chosen to configure the tools and symbols of writing - quills, pens, ink pots, desks, studies, typewriters,
keyboards and books? And what cultural and commercial agendas are revealed in cinema's compulsive return not just to literary
material (whose story is already well told) but, specifically, to literary process (whose story is not)? Case studies include
Diary of a Country Priest, Letter from an Unknown Woman, Julia, My Brilliant Career, Prospero's Books, Adaptation, Shakespeare
in Love, Sylvia, The Lives of Others, Becoming Jane, Atonement, Bright Star, Enid and Howl"--
